02/02/2010

Nutrition therapist, author and speaker Evelyn Tribole will share her ideas on “Intuitive Eating” on Wednesday, Feb. 24, at SUNY Cortland.

The co-author with Elyse Resch of the Bestseller book Intuitive Eating, Tribole will discuss “Intuitive Eating: How to Create a Healthy Relationship with Food, Mind and Body” at 7:30 p.m. in the Corey Union Function Room.

Part of the College’s Spring 2010 “Wellness Wednesday Series,” the talk is free and open to the public. Tribole’s talk fittingly takes place during national Body Appreciation Week.

“Intuitive eating teaches individuals how to create a healthy relationship with their food, mind and body, where they ultimately become the expert of their own body,” said Tribole, a registered dietician who operates a nutrition counseling practice in Newport Beach, Calif., and has received the American Dietetic Association’s Award for Excellence in Private Practice. She served as a national spokesperson for the American Dietetic Association for six years.

As a speaker, Tribole has been called “passionate, wonderfully wise and funny.”

Tribole’s seven books include a second bestseller, Healthy Homestyle Cooking. Her newest book is the Ultimate Omega-3 Diet. A contributing editor for Shape magazine, her monthly column, “Recipe Makeovers,” appeared for 11 years.

A former nutrition expert for “Good Morning America,” she is often sought by the media for her nutritional expertise and has appeared on CNN, “The Today Show,” MSNBC and Fox News and in USA Today, The Wall St. Journal and People magazine. Many national magazines, including Self, Harper’s Bazaar and Redbook, have rated Tribole as one of the best nutritionists in the country.

She qualified for the Olympic Trials in the first-ever women’s marathon in 1984. Now a recreational runner, Tribole enjoys skiing, hiking, surfing, kayaking and white-water rafting.

The “Wellness Wednesday” series this spring focuses on speakers, exhibits, self-help workshops and other programs intended to encourage campus and community members to try something new for their health. Sponsored by the Health Promotion Office and the Student Development Center, the series takes place each Wednesday at 7 p.m. in Corey Union Exhibition Lounge, unless otherwise noted. The events are free and open to the public.
